Marylebone Farmers’ Market

LOVE this market. Going there around 11am is our Sunday routine. What is great about it? A wide selection that ranges from oysters to berries to potatoes to baked goods to flowers – at least when each of these things is in season. Everything is fresh, and the people who work there are (without exception) friendly and excited for you to try their offerings. Why might some turn up their noses? The price point comparison should be the Waitrose that is literally across the street. not Sainsbury’s. After all, you are in Marylebone and these are people selling small quantities out of their booths. Also, the food is seasonal – which is wonderful for taste, quality, and environmental perspectives, but could turn off someone who needs to have Chilean blueberries in winter and pears in Spring. That said, if you are willing to go with the flow, this place is a true gem. I have found no other place in Marylebone that fosters such a neighbourhood feel.

This is small market with good products of local farmers but because of the Marylebone area the market and its clientele it feels way to posh to me. I do recognize that most of the products are of a good quality but I also feel most of the products are overpriced. If you are in the area and you do want some luxury grocery shopping this is a great place with a nice atmosphere.

An amazing farmers market in the heart of Marylebone with fresh vegetables, meats, cheeses, and breads. I recommend picking up your meats & vegetables here and then popping over to La Fromagerie for your cheeses.

C’est un petit marché mais avec uniquement des petits producteurs. Vous y trouverez des produits bios et des petits plats maisons.

This farmer’s market is certainly a gem in the city of London. We came here right when they opened and started our rounds. It isn’t huge, but it has a nice variety of different things to buy.
They had fruits and vegetables, cheeses, pastries, pies, along with cooked food, i.e. chicken, sides, basically anything you wanted for lunch or dinner. All the people at the different stands were very friendly and a lot of stands had samples of their products.
Bring cash because I don’t think I saw any stand that accepted credit cards. I did probably 10 laps around the farmer’s market and found something else I wanted every time I walked around. This market is a great place to come on a Sunday morning to enjoy the outdoors and get some good, fresh food.

When I lived in Marylebone, I went here every single Sunday. They have a little bit of everything. Veggies, fruits, baked goods, dairy, etc. They also have cooked food (tarts, bread, sandwiches, pastas, etc.) for sale. Fantastic. The vendors are funny and approachable, and can tell you a lot about what they are selling. If you’re in the area, check it out, and then go to La Fromagerie and The Ginger Pig for some other great snacks and groceries. Marylebone High Street also has some great food spots. All and all, great market. Not as big and busy as Borough, and still a great stop.

Smashing.
Why?
It has a bit of everything.
For those who want to load up on basic fare, there are vendors selling greens, potatoes, meats, raw seafood, etc. — great basics that need some preparation.
For those who don’t want to cook, there are vendors selling tarts, cakes, quiches, and entrees such as French chicken or Italian Lasagne, ready for the fridge.
For those who want to eat there and not carry anything home, there are vendors cooking breakfast/​lunch fare, selling cakes and coffee, etc.
This format is both tricky and convenient. It’s really nice if you make the market part of your routine. Being new, however, I’ve learned of constraints. For example, I wanted to buy a big portion of mussels, but realized I wasn’t heading home for a few hours.
For Londoners, this is a market worth a visit.
For visitors, this is also a market worth a visit, though it’s not amazing. However it’s also near some other touristy things, but also showcases a day-​to-​day neighborhood of locals. And their big mussels.

Tiny little market tucked away in car park in central London, taking place every sunday. Some fancy local clientele and only a handful of tourists.
Standard farmers market fare: organic meat and veg, dairy, bread, a couple of hot food stands, and even some fresh juice and smoothies!
The star of the show was definitely the pastry stand; I actually think I died and went to heaven. The boyfriend got a brownie, and I got a pain au chocolate. We shared both.
Amazing melt in your mouth brownie. A thick and chocolately pain au chocolate — and not too flaky. I hate that. (And I am a fucking pain au chocolat connoisseur, folks). Even my oft-​unimpressed other half made noises of approval.
Also, the Liverpudlian chap at the sausage roll stand is super friendly, so say Hi to him.

LOVE IT HERE!!! I can’t say enough how much I fell in love with London during my visits. The farmer’s market here was worth getting early. I ate my way down the entire market and back up. If there was anything I didn’t recognize — I ate it. Some of the extreme items were not so great, but overall, I discovered new finds that I really liked. It was such a shame that my hotel didn’t have a kitchen, I would have loved to buy the produce and meats to make dinner. It was really a treat to visit and I am looking forward to the next visit!

Hands down, my fav farmers market in London to date (and I’ve been making the rounds!). I go every Sunday morning right around opening, just because things to get picked over quickly.
The layout is well planned, with wide rows and plenty of space for people to browse without having to feel like a salmon during spawning season. As it gets warmer, there is a larger variety of beautifully raised produce, but I find that some of my of the most enjoyable stands are from the meat, poultry, egg, seafood, potato and dairy vendors.
I generally always pick out some pork shoulder or loin, as well a duck breast or two, which are quickly becoming my favourite protein to prepare. The fresh eggs are also a must-​have for me. And the hubs always has a half-​dozen oysters from Maldon, who will happily bring enough for entertaining purposes, as long as you phone ahead. The cheese suppliers tend to vary from week-​to-​week, which is also nice for discovering some of the smaller producers around.
I also buy lovely homemade butter and unpasteurised milk (which seems to be a really big hit with the locals) from the stall next to my pork butcher. The potato guy brings an array of potatoes in many sizes, shapes, and colours. And is extremely knowledgeable and what’s best for baking, boiling, mash, et. al. Just ask!
All in all, it’s a very easy-​going, family-​oriented type of market. The baby-​, dog-​, and parent-​watching is worth the trip alone!

Farmers markets are brilliant. And this one is no exception. Although, the Qype staff told me it was just over the road from where you are and that was a fib. It’s a 15 minute walk from Oxford Circus I imaging. A nice walk though.
This is a great market, but it’s well worth looking around before you buy. I now have more spuds than I’ll ever need after finding the potato man half an hour after I’d already made my purchase he had lovely purple spuds you see
Don’t go with heaps of money. You will spend it. All of it. On stuff you probably didn’t need. But then, that’s half the fun really. But it’s not cheap. And I think because of the area it’s in, that forces the price up.
I’ll pop back here soon and snap up even more lovely things. I only did a very quick whizz around last time so it would be nice to spend a relaxing morning there. Go. Enjoy.

Great farmers market, in the NCP car park behind Waitrose. Individual sellers, knowledgable, great quality meats and cheeses. Get there early as it’s first-​come, first-​served, stalls do run out of produce. As other posters have said, the Marylebone area is full of great shops, Le Fromagerie and The Ginger Pig are superb.

The Marylebone Farmers Market is one of the nicest places to visit on a Sunday morning in London. Maybe only a tenth of the size of Borough or Brick Lane, it is one of the city centre’s real hidden gems and because of this it’s virtually tourist free. However, this is not a place to go to if you are just hoping to soak up the atmosphere and grab a quick bite to eat as it has remained very much a place to buy and where locals clearly go for their (posh) weekly shop.
That said, Marylebone is a great place to visit if, like me, you find yourself waking up on a Sunday morning with a real hunger for a home cooked roast dinner and all the trimmings. Stalls are literally brimming with finest quality ingredients you could possibly imagine and a wide variety of meat, fish, veg, bread and cheese. A particular mention has to be paid to ‘The Potato Man’ whose entire stall consists of potatoes from around the country. I have never met a man so enthusiastic about this humble ingredient or so forthcoming with advice on how each variety should be cooked. It is these kind of details that make Marylebone just that little bit special and my favourite market in London.

This farmers’ market is less of a destination and more suited to weekly shopping. Marylebone is only once weekly on Sunday, but shares some of the same stalls as Borough Market, so you can get your breads and fancy tomatoes without contending with the crush south of the river on the weekend. There are also a lot of vegetable stalls where you can buy reasonably priced organic and conventionally grown produce. Some stalls rotate, so you might not be able to buy the same variety of goat’s cheese two weeks in a row, but those that rotate are usually comparable. Unfortunately, there’s only a four-​hour window to do your shopping, so there’s no time for a lie in.

Really worth a trip on a Sunday. The food selection is small but very high quality and the vegetables and meat are outstanding. There is always someone with freshly-​baked cakes which are worth a try. It’s not cheap, though, but it’s got a lovely, intimate, villagey feel. Go!

Marylebone is definitely the best of all the London farmers’ markets (some of them are tiny!) and I think it is one of the most established.
There is a really good range of vegetables, cheese, seafood, and meat here and you can find things here like unpasteurised milk, buffalo milk yoghurt, and fly-​fished river trout that you just won’t find anywhere else. The crowd is also much more mellow than Borough Market and you have more space to wander around and talk to the producers.
The market itself may not be enough to warrant a trip from other parts of London but if you combine it with a wander to some of the other shops in Marylebone’s ‘gourmet ghetto’ (La Fromagerie, Ginger Pig, Divertimenti) it makes for a worthwhile trip.

Tucked behind Marylebone High Street in Cramer Street Car Park, the Marylebone Farmers Market is a great place to shop. On offer are all the usual stalls selling freshly bake breads and cakes, dairy products, as well as locally produced meat and veg.
There is a real buzz about this place as foodies from all over London come to do their weekly shop.
I find the best thing about the Marylebone Farmers Market is all the nearby shops — from fancy boutiques to specialist food shop and supermarket chains. And, there are plenty of places to sit and relax with either a warming coffee or reviving pint — whichever takes your fancy.

Marylebone Farmers Market is on of London’s biggest farmers markets which meets once a week on Sundays. I used to live 5minutes walk away and I’d get up and walk down every Sunday and eat breakfast there as well as buying produce to eat for the next week. As with all of the London Farmers Markets the produce is sourced from farms nearby London so the environmental impact is minimal and all of the retailers are small independent producers. There are usually about 40 stalls but if this isn’t enough than there are many more shops in the Marylebone area worth checking out especially La Fromagerie which is located on the north end of the car park.
Also watch out for the guy selling fresh onions from a bike!
